Beschreibung

This fascinating study delves into the lives of six Tudor women celebrated for their reputed wickedness. Collected here are accounts of Anne Boleyn, Katherine Howard, Anne Seymour, Lettice Dudley, and Jane and Alice More. Warnicke rescues these women from historical misrepresentations and helps us to rediscover the complex world of Tudor society.

Zusammenfassung

GREAT TOPIC: Through investigations of the lives and legacies of some memorable characters, this book illuminates a broad cross-section of Tudor society in an accessible style.

LEADING SCHOLAR: Warnicke is a well-known senior scholar of Tudor England who has published several major studies over her career

CONTROVERSY: Warnicke's book on Anne Boleyn in which she controversially claimed that Anne miscarried a deformed child in 1536 established her as a provocative historian of the period and will drive interest in this book's sections on Anne in particular

POTENTIAL FOR MULTIPLE COURSES: As with other books in our Queenship & Power series, this one will be useful for both British history and Renaissance lit courses
